Bipartisan Group of Senators Negotiating Over Tighter Border Security Amid Surge in Illegal Immigration

The Democratic Party's shift towards more lenient immigration policies has led to increased pressure on President Biden and strained social services in major cities and border communities.

• President Biden and congressional Democrats face growing pressure over their approach to immigration, with a surge in illegal immigration during Biden's presidency partly attributed to the party's new stance.
• A bipartisan group of senators is negotiating over a bill that would tighten border security, among other measures.
• Many migrants believe they will be able to remain in the U.S. as long as they can reach the border, leading to increased strain on social services in major cities and border communities.
• Democrats have shifted from supporting strong border security to advocating for the decriminalization of the border and more positive attitudes towards immigration.
• Congressional Republicans are demanding tougher policies as their price for passing more aid to Ukraine, potentially including more rigorous asylum screenings and faster deportation for those who don't qualify for legal entry.
